It is a two-story masonry building, built out of red brick mostly laid in Flemish bond.

The interior has a vestibule area, with stairs leading up to a former gallery (now offices), with the main sanctuary including what appears to be an original chandelier, and a recess in which the ark housing the Torah would have been placed.

The architect of the new building was Dudley St. Clair Donnelly and the builders were carpenter Samuel Brody and mason Thomas Occhialini, all of New London.

The congregation was merged with another in 1974, at which time the building was sold to La Centro de Comunidad, a Latino community organization.
